     Topic: Do you know who you are going to vote for     Posted: 18 October 2008 at 7:15pm | 
 
 
  
   
   
   at the election yet?? 
No need to say who you are if you already know if you don't want to. 
  
I do and my party vote will never change, however if I was to change areas for my MP it may change.

   Yes I do, it hasn't changed. I haven't found anyone better so I don't see the point in changing my vote. I have changed areas since last election so I will change my candidate (as now in Jim Anderton's electorate so I finally get to vote for him!)

   I have no idea, I voted ACT in the last two elections but they don't impress me much these days.
 
I can categorically say it won't be Labour, the Greens or the Maori party so that doesn't leave me much choice

   Simon Power - cause I have no idea who the other candidates are.
 Swinging towards National, which is why I'm struggling with making a decision as I've always voted Labour up until now.

   Not 100% sure. Last election was Labour both votes but am considering splitting my vote this year. Although I am not a huge Green follower their campaign this time has made me think alot more about the future and more importantly Jack's future.

   Definitely not National, there is something about John Key that I just don't trust, it's in his eyes.
 
 Labour for me.

   I have no idea, lesser of evils I think.. Need to do some more research on what they are all offering this year. Have just been too tired.

   98% sure I will vote National... but I think it's always a case of trying to choose the lesser of evil's, so don't really fully support any party in particular.

   I'm going Labour again.  I agree that it's the lesser of two evils but they have lived up to the promises that I based my last vote on.  
 
 I like the idea of keeping assets NZ owned and that they are talking about extended maternity pay.  I know this has been put on hold but the idea is there for the future which we could benefit from for future bubbies.  How many of us have benefited from WFF?

   labour candidate and green party.  i like the greens being in parliament. they have integrity and keep to their morals - nice for ONE party to do that.
